Fashion Week 2007 in Highland Park

Admit it...You May Not Be A Slave To Fashion...
But What Woman Can’t Help Indulging In It?

Being a believer that personal style is more about confidence doesn’t mean throwing all fashion advice to the wind. In fact, if fashion is where you find it, and you missed last week’s buzz, the place to find it is Highland Park.

This year’s fashion week started with a bark…yes, Bark At The Bank – where 45 dogs gathered for their day in the spot light. Then The Art Center morphed itself into a chic nite club where the music pulsed while cocktails flowed, and this town’s amateurs played model to sport the hippest shop finds. View some pictures here. To wrap up the week, the Chamber sponsored its annual
High Time High Fashion Show. This time no amateurs allowed. Instead professional models did the strut down the runway representing HP’s local and national stores to showcase their finest.

If you want what they had here’s a partial list of stores and items featured:
